Mt. Washington ride
 

Who is going to the Mt. Washington ride at the end of July? My Bro-in-law and I are going to try and go.

Of course both riding Polaris.

Maybe we'll see ya there.

I was going to go up with my son and a couple of my buddies, but forgot I had a week on a lake booked on that weekend. Maybe next year. Do they do it the last Saturday of July every year?

Hmm, I want to go but I cannot seem to find any info on this ride. I did see on the Mount Washington Auto Road site that if you plan on carring a passenger you must have an ATV designed for two-up and that the add on seats are not allowed. Also you must have a Vermont of New Hampshire ATV registration. Being from Maine I will have to get one for this ride.

Anybody else have any info on this years ride?

ya we saw that last yr when we took our bikes (motorcycles) up summer and it cost as car and only happens once a year and need a certain number of bikes to make it happen. your right about the 2 up riders as well. just not worth the gas to haul way over there to do it although it would be cool for sure.

I think you have to be a legally licensed driver for your state. IE 16 or over to drive a quad. It is on the 27th if I remember right. At least that's when my club was going to ride. If going up I highly recommend packing winter wear. A lot of people have died in freak weather up on top.

we went up last yr about this time frame and its about 20 degrees cooler for sure but we were lucky and had clear skies and awesom veiws. point in hand; we went up w/ 4 bikes and 2 of the guys were scared of heights and had a really hard time of part of the climb and descent so be aware if your really afraid of heights and your not in the safety feel of a car and you have an open cockpit(with a wheeler or bike) it might be a very hard trip. just a freindly point.

Good point stendori - I am fine with heights but the wife isn't. I should probably plan on taking my boy instead of the wife.

I'm less then an hour from the base - so I'll likely go

I remember the day I went up on a Honda motorcycle back in the 1980's...(Yeah, I'm old...) It was 95 degrees at the base and 51 degrees at the top with zero visability from fog and a 50 MPH wind. I had a full fairing on the bike and was scared Shi$%@##ss by the time were were back at the bottom. Havent been back since but have a question. Is it paved all the way up now? Back then, halfway up turned into a gravel path and being on a motorcycle, it spelled disaster with the wind....I shiver just remembering my fears......and my drawers still have a brown stain......;-)

That's a good question. I don't know. I haven't been up since I hiked up the West side and came down the Auto Road. I can't even remember what the situation was then.
